White Burgundy
Chassagne-Montrachet "Vieilles Vignes", Vincent Girardin, FR, 2022Very typical perfumed nose, much more intense than the preceding wines. Much richer fruit. The mid- palate is very luscious with strong acids & some orange peel accents. It has power but isn’t too heavy. Long, high acid & persistent fruit on the finish.
Bourbon
Bourbon, "Murray Hill Club" Joseph Magnus, 750mLToasty, buttery notes of vanilla and char, with layers of spiced, dried fruits through the finish

Burgundy
Vosne-Romanée "Vielles Vignes", Michel Magnien, Burgundy, FR, 2021 (4th generation family winemaker)90pts Burghound
Nose is comprised by notes of exotic tea plum & anise along with a subtle floral hint. There is again very good richness volume & vibrancy to the medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a youthfully austere balanced & sneaky long finale.
Red Blend
Red Blend, Cain Five, Cain Vineyards, Napa Valley, CA, 2018JS 96Pts.
Really firm & long with a solid core of tannins, earthy fruit & firmness. Medium to full body. Serious structure & length. Juicy & savory. Tension & form to this is beautiful.
White Burgundy
Chassagne-Montrachet "Les Chaumes", Jean Noel Gagnard, FR, 2022Decanter 92Points.
The fruit ripens well here and the wine shows a ripe, exotic note on the nose, while the palate has a dense, rich texture, but the wine never loses sight of its balance. Lovely length and great potential for ageing
Last Chance
Red Blend, Amulet Estate, Napa Valley, CA, 2017RP: 93. Aromas of red rose and crushed strawberries with a smooth, round palate and flavors of Japanese plum, warm cherry, and milk chocolate. A hint of creme de cassis and soft currant linger on the finish.
